[Lima] [PATCH v2] drm/lima: add governor data with pre-defined thresholds

This patch adapts the panfrost pre-defined thresholds change [0] to the
lima driver to improve real-world performance. The upthreshold value has
been set to ramp GPU frequency to max freq faster (compared to panfrost)
to compensate for the lower overall performance of utgard devices.

Change since v1: increased upthreshold from 20 to 30, with a soft
dependency on Lukasz delayed timer patch [0]
